Maandje geleden ofzo had ik deze vondst idd ook gepost in piramide van Cheops topic.

T'is zo jammer dat je geen site hebt over zulke onderwerpen die dagelijks geupdate wordt.
Ik begreep trouwens dat deze piramide al een tijdje geleden gevonden was.. of is dit weer een nieuwe want ik lees hier october 2005?

in ieder geval, ben erg benieuwd, een piramide die dus volledig bedekt is met mos, zou inhouden dat deze waarschijnlijk niet geroofd is. Wat voor vondsten vinden we hier dan?!!? Eindelijk bewijs dat de mensen van verder dan 5000 V.C. dateren zou mooi zijn!

helaas, hij heeft geen archief. Blijkbaar staan er maar dingen van de afgelopen week in.

The author of the report is geologist Nadija Nukić, an expert with 25 years experience

working as a geologist throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.



The reports says:



- The shape of Visocica Hill is consistent with that of a pyramid, having four identical sides, with the exception of the front side which accesses a plateau. Nature does not make correct geometrical shapes like this and the rocks could not have been formed in this pattern by natural forces



- Three excavations have taken place at the described location. These ascertained that there is a consistent pattern up the side of the pyramid; an angled side followed by a flat horizontal section of 2.5m, like a stair, which continues to the apex of Visocica Hill



Superficial digging has confirmed that the contours of the blocks have specific geometrical shapes. By cleaning these blocks we can see that all these blocks are layered on each other with each block set slightly indented to the one below.



It is interesting that the blocks are covered with moss and so remain intact. Two blocks were discovered during the excavation we carried out and we can clearly see the sides of the two blocks and the area where they were joined together. We have done more cleaning on these joints and found that the sides between the joins are very finely ground.



On location at the second area of excavation we noticed the appearance of sanded blocks and these blocks are set in an orderly pattern across this area. One of the blocks was excavated from a depth of 1.7m. It was found to have circular patterns which will be analysed further; it is thought that they are man made.



The length and size of the third excavation is 9.3m x 9.8m and we can conclude from previous excavations that the plateau is most probably completely covered with these blocks. These blocks do not have the appearance of stairs but follow the angle of the hill. By looking closely at these blocks we can see that they are man made. We can therefore conclude that all these blocks have been cut into the required dimensions to create this structure.



We can conclude, from all these factors, the hypothesis that the Visocica Hill is a colossal stone structure - a pyramid. The walls of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun are made from precut blocks which have been moved to this location. The access plateau is of monumental dimensions (around 15,000 sqm) and is paved with cut stone slabs.



Given these factors, we can discount this being a natural phenomena.



A foundation has, as a result, been created with the name, Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun. At this stage it includes nearly 200 intellectuals from Bosnia and other parts of the world. This brilliant concentration of knowledge and enthusiasm will ensure the continuation of the project with further exploration planned for April 2006.

Is Bosnian hill actually an ancient pyramid?
Archaeologists study mound — but hold off from conclusions

VISOKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - With eyes trained to recognize pyramids hidden in the hills of El Salvador, Mexico and Peru, Semir Osmanagic has been drawn to the mound overlooking this central Bosnian town.

"It has all the elements: four perfectly shaped slopes pointing toward the cardinal points, a flat top and an entrance complex," he said, gazing at the hill and wondering what lies beneath.

No pyramids are known in Europe, and there is no evidence any ancient civilization there ever attempted to build one.

But Osmanagic, a Bosnian archaeologist who has spent the last 15 years studying the pyramids of Latin America, suspects there is one here in his Balkan homeland.

"We have already dug out stone blocks which I believe are covering the pyramid," he said. "We found a paved entrance plateau and discovered underground tunnels. You don't have to be an expert to realize what this is."

Osmanagic, 45, who now lives in Houston, is personally financing excavations at the Visocica hill, a 2,120-foot (646-meter) hump outside Visoko, a town about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of the capital, Sarajevo.

He learned about the hill in April from Senad Hodovic, director of a museum devoted to the history of Visoko, which is rich in Bronze Age and medieval artifacts. Hodovic had attended a promotion of an Osmanagic book about ancient civilizations and thought he would like to see Visoko's pyramid-shaped hill.

When the pair climbed the hill, the sweeping view revealed a second, smaller pyramid-shaped hill. It reminded Osmanagic of pairs of pyramids he has seen in Latin America that together create a gateway into a valley.

15 anomalies found
After obtaining a permit to research the site, which is protected by the state as a national monument, the first probes of the main hill were carried out this summer at six points. Nadja Nukic, a geologist involved in the research, said she found 15 anomalies suggesting that some layers of the hill were human-made.

"We found layers of what we call 'bad concrete,' a definitely unnatural mixture of gravel once used to form blocks with which this hill was covered," Osmanagic said.

"The hill was already there," he added. "Some ancient civilization just shaped it and then coated it with this primitive concrete — and there you have a pyramid."

Small-scale excavations continued until early November, when winter set in, with the work focusing on what Osmanagic theorizes may have been the entrance to a pyramid-shaped temple.

Built by Illyrians?
Osmanagic believes the hill was shaped by the Illyrian people, who inhabited the Balkan peninsula long before Slavic tribes conquered it around A.D. 600. Little is known about the Illyrians, but Osmanagic thinks they were more sophisticated than many experts have suggested.

Nukic, who has walked up and down the hill several times, said she noticed symmetrical platforms in the slopes — indentations that Osmanagic believes are steps built into the pyramid.

A local businessman who bought a lot at the foot of the hill and brought in a bulldozer to dig the foundation for a house, meanwhile, unearthed manmade sandstone plates that the archaeologists think may have been paving stones.

Anthropologists say the Visoko valley already offers ample evidence of organized human settlements dating back 7,000 years. The town was Bosnia's capital during the Middle Ages, and German archaeologists working the valley recently found 24,000 Neolithic artifacts just three feet below the surface.

‘No fast conclusions, please’
Osmanagic is taking a cautious approach about the hill.

"No fast conclusions, please. The evidence has to be firm, at least beyond a reasonable doubt," he said.

"Not that I don't believe in a pyramid here," he added. "This place was always called 'Pyramid' by the local population. But we have to prove that this is not a natural shape."

He thinks, however, that the shape of the hill speaks for itself.

"God can make many things, but such perfectly geometrically formed slopes, pointing exactly toward the north, south, east and west — if he did that, well, that's phenomenal itself."

Europe’s largest archaeological project gets underway





Growing local and international interest in the

new pyramidal complex recently discovered in

the Bosnian town of Visoko has led to the

creation of a new charitable foundation:

‘The Archeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Foundation’.



Once excavation activities resume at the Visoko site in April 2006, it will represent the largest geological-archaeological project in Europe in 2006.



Bosnian-American explorer Semir Osmanagić, who discovered the pyramidal complex in 2005, has been receiving thousands of letters of support, interest and offers to help from around the world since his excavation work was made public last year.



The foundation will act as a point of contact for those interested in finding out more or supporting the ongoing excavations. It will be responsible for overseeing the excavations at Visoko and for the protection of Bosnian cultural heritage. One of its aims is also to attract greater involvement by recognised international experts.



The foundation will initially focus on supporting the exploration, restoration and protection of the pyramidal complex in Visoko Valley. It will be staffed by volunteers and international experts with separate committees responsible for geology and archaeology. Dr Amer Smailbegović, from Navada, will head up the unit responsible for remote sensing at the site.



One of their areas of interest is the phenomenon of iron rings and stone balls, in varying sizes, which are found across Bosnia. The only other region where similar stone balls have been found is Costa Rica in South America.



The foundation will also develop 3D visual material, using Bosnian software technology, to present the excavations to a wider community. The foundation will set up ten centres abroad to promote its work, but has yet to confirm their locations.



The foundation has the backing of the Bosnian Ministry of Justice. It will be financed by sponsorship and donations from institutions, companies and individuals. A dedicated website is expected to be launched soon, with contact details.
